re: How Mjnorities can gain their "privilege"

quote:

---

so who is the majority? politically and economically whites, therefore whitey has the power. Generally speaking, that means that white youth will have an easier time gaining acceptance.

Whites, statistically (for the third time) make less on average than Asians.

Does a person with black skin, a Hispanic or an Asian have any less privilege when they get rich?

So therefore: Is it the money or the skin color that dictates the power?

If it's the money it is not white privilege.

Regardless of how it was initiated it is a white privilege due to the majority politically and economically speaking. It is nothing more than an offshoot of our prejudicial nature (and likely a loose sense of "nationalism").

Eh, it's nice to think that way but it's simply not true. The "majority" benefit from their wealth -- a white person born into poverty has the exact same shot at being successful as a black person, or an Asian person, or a Hispanic person.

Your status is not dictated by your skin color at birth.

A silver spoon isn't inserted as soon as you come out light-skinned.
